India Nears Human Spaceflight Goal with Successful Gaganyaan Parachute Drop
India achieved a major step toward its first human spaceflight as ISRO successfully tested the Gaganyaan capsule’s parachute system. Dropped from a 2.5 km altitude, the 7.2-tonne dummy module deployed its 10 chutes flawlessly, ensuring a safe descent even under off-nominal conditions. This success validates a key safety system for crewed missions...

Potentially Hazardous Asteroid Nereus Which Flew Past Earth Could Be Mined for Precious Metals Worth Billions
Space mining is an idea that began taking hold at the turn of the century, and 10 years ago, it was passionately discussed. Many argued that space mining could revolutionise the commercial space economy by employing robots and private astronauts to explore and mine near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) for precious metals and even rare earth metals.
